Playing History:

I have been playing volleyball since I was in Junior High School in Nova Scotia. I went to Dalhousie University and played on the club team for two years and the varsity team for one year. After Dalhousie I went to TUNS (technical University of Nova Scotia) I played three years on the varsity team. During all this time I played co-ed volleyball as well as beach. Upon joining the military I played for the base teams as well as CISM (Military International Team).

Coaching Resumé:

I have coached for several years, starting with base volleyball as well as junior high school boys in Cold Alberta. I have been coaching with the Mavericks since 2013 various ages, but always girls teams. I have coached young adults in Kayaking and Canoeing for the Mic Mac Canoe club in Nova Scotia as a summer job while in University. I coached soccer in both Cold Lake and Ottawa, ages 5-7.

Coaching Philosophy:

Volleyball for life. I feel that I have contributed and made a difference if I have a player that wants to play the sport for a very long time. There is always something to learn. As a coach I have learned a great deal coaching and assist coaching and I hope that I will always keep learning.
